Discussion / Interact with LSPs and nodes in the browser

[johnsBeharry]

Our goal is NOT to write a full UI for a Lightning Network node with all the channel management features, but instead to only focus on what is necessary for the web (for payment and authentication flows). We believe there are already way better management UIs. Also we focus on supporting multipe different node backends (non-custodial and custodial).

Above is from the README. I'd like to raise the discussion to support lnurl-channel in the extension, and possibly also to WebLN. In the long term, if we can expect a partial lightning node running in the browser (wasm), we would need to allow users to setup channels. This can also apply for anyone using the LND connector.

The thought came up from conversations about LSPs

• https://github.com/peakshift/bolt.fun/issues/10

• https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Guide/issues/532#issuecomment-946466289

• Understanding this is well out of scope for our current development. Is there a future for lnurl-channel in the extension?

This is being tackled by #738 , right?
